Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Picks, March 13

Miriam Metzinger submits: Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Tuesday March 13. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Bullish calls:

Apple (AAPL): 'AAPL is the best-acting technology stock in the book ... Don't trust most of techonlogy, until we get to the summer... but not AAPL. I think AAPL is best in show. Pull the trigger on any weakness...'
Yamana Gold (AUY): 'I think gold is a good place to go. I think people should have 1 gold stock out of 10. And the stock they should own is AUY! Which is the only gold company which is completely and utterly replenishing its coffers, even as it is produces gold. You got it right. Do you back up the truck? Let's do that at $12.'
Alliant Techsystems (ATK)
General Dynamic (GD): ' ... you know that GD may be best in show.'
Lockheed Martin (LMT): 'Take a look at LMT, which got completely crushed today. That shouldn't have been down $3.'
Genentech (DNA): 'This stock acted pretty darn well in the selloff. It has been meandering between $80 and $85. I think that Evastin's problems are way overblown ... it's still in my top 4.'
Gilead Sciences (GILD)
Celgene (CELG): 'I don't like DNA as much as I like CELG, which is my #1 name.'
Genzyme (GENZ): 'I don't like it [DNA] as much as GENZ.'
Microsoft (MSFT): 'Everybody knows that Vista's not selling well. I think that MSFT, at $26, deserves and merits a buy here... not on voice recognition, but on a crystal, rock-solid clear balance sheet, and a business that isn't going away. The stock is now down five straight points. That's an overaction, and I'm buying. Buy, buy, buy!'
GlobalSantaFe (GSF)
Transocean (RIG): 'Rig is #1.'
Garmin (GRMN): 'I thought GRMN acted very well today ... What a clean quarter they had. Let that stock come in to $50. And then, I don't care about the insider selling. I need you to pull the trigger multiple times... $50, then $47, and then $45... What a stock! What a company.'

Neutral calls:

Diamond Offshore (DO): 'When I went through the quarter for DO... Frankly, I was not as impressed as I wanted to be... Here's the deal... The pecking order of drillers is very clear: RIG* is #1... Then GSF... and only then, would you pick up DO.'

Bearish calls:

SAIC (SAI): 'Remember, I said that SAIC, I had to give up on it... I rode it up to $21 and then I rode it back. My bad.'
